The device of claim 20, wherein the first insert further comprises a first closure element configured to prevent flow communication between the first container and the dispensing orifice when the device is in the first configuration and wherein the second insert further comprises a second closure element configured to prevent flow communication between the second container and the dispensing orifice when the device is in the first configuration.22. The device of claim 21, wherein the first closure element and the second closure element are configured to close the first flow passage and the second flow passage when the device is in the first configuration.23. The device of claim 21, wherein the first closure element is connected to the first insert and the second closure element is connected to the second insert.24. The device of claim 23, further comprising a first connecting strip configured to connect the first closure element to the first insert and a second connecting strip configured to connect the second connecting strip to the second insert.25. The device of claim 20, wherein the first container and the second container are mounted on the first insert and the second inserts, respectively, by one of bonding and welding.26. The device of claim 1, further comprising the first product in the first container and the second product in the second container.27.
